• Fri, 14:26: The Internet is full of advice for you: as long as you want to sit on an office chair and spin yourself around with a leaf blower...
If you must argue on the internet, these are some lovely rules to follow, from
Jenny Lindahl Persson, (normally @jennylinp) curator of the @sweden twitter account from 09-24-2012 to 09-30-2012.

  • Sun, 09:01: RT @sweden: This is my 7-points communications plan for all mankind. We should stick to some basic rules when we voice our opinions.
  • Sun, 09:01: RT @sweden: 1. Never dehumanize anyone. Don’t call your enemies rats, parasites or vermin. That makes real life violence easier.
  • Sun, 09:01: RT @sweden: 2. Don’t help spreading conspiracy theories. They are almost never accurate, and they feed hate and legitimize real violence.
  • Sun, 09:01: RT @sweden: 3. Apologize when you unintentionally hurt someone. Before posting, put yourself in the position of anyone you plan to taunt.
  • Sun, 09:01: RT @sweden: 4. Always protest against racists or hate speech, alert others and help take action. We can outnumber them, if we speak up.
  • Sun, 09:01: RT @sweden: 5. Don’t argue with what you think is peoples “secret agenda”, rather what they actually say. That’s probably what they mean.
  • Sun, 09:02: RT @sweden: 6. Don’t argue by accusing people of serious crimes, like treason or terrorism. They are probably just wrong, not criminal.
  • Sun, 09:02: RT @sweden: 7. Spread love whenever you have the opportunity. #worldcomplan
this morning, I heard this great quote on NPR, a college economics professor said that ninety percent of life is:

1) Doing your homework.
2) Showing up.

when he said it, i thought about what good advice it really is...
don't fret, prepare for what you can, and then actually DO what you prepare for.

oddly, it is the "showing up" part that is my biggest hangup. suprising, considering how much work the homework part is...
